Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Prior to attempting to perform the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you should run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is an application that you can download from Microsoft’s Web site that will inform you if Windows 7 supports a computer running the current hardware and software configuration of Windows Vista.

Prior to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you should ensure that all hardware that you want to use with Windows 7, such as printers, scanners, and cameras, are connected to the computer. The Upgrade Advisor generates a report that informs you of which applications and devices are known to have problems

with Windows 7.

You need to configure the computer to meet the following requirements:

Generate a new security ID (SID) when the computer starts.
Ensure that the Welcome screen appears when the computer starts.

What should you do?

C. Run Msconfig.exe and select Selective startup. D. Run Msconfig.exe and select Diagnostic startup.

Correct Answer: A
Section: Installing upgarading & migrating
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
108 20217

To prepare the reference computer for the user, you use the Sysprep utility with the /generalize option to remove hardware-specific information from the Windows installation and the /oobe option to configure the computer to boot to Windows Welcome upon the next restart. Open an elevated command prompt on the reference computer and run the following command:

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown

Sysprep prepares the image for capture by cleaning up various user-specific and computer-specific settings, as well as log files. The reference installation now is complete and ready to be imaged.

/generalize
Prepares the Windows installation to be imaged. If you specify this option, all unique system information is removed from the Windows installation. The SID is reset, system restore points are cleared, and event
logs are deleted. The next time the computer starts, the specialize configuration pass runs. A new SID is created, and the clock for Windows activation resets (unless the clock has already been reset three times).

/oobe
Restarts the computer in Windows Welcome mode. Windows Welcome enables users to customize their Windows 7 operating system, create user accounts, and name the computer. Any settings in the oobeSystem configuration pass in an answer file are processed immediately before Windows Welcome starts.

QUESTION 6
You have a computer that runs Windows Vista.

You install Windows 7 on a new partition on the computer.

You need to ensure that the computer always starts Windows Vista by default. What should you do?
A. Create a boot.ini file in the root of the Windows 7 partition.
B. Create a boot.ini file in the root of the Windows Vista partition. C. Run Bcdedit.exe and specify the /default parameter.
D. Run Bcdedit.exe and specify the /bootems parameter.

Correct Answer: C
Section: Installing upgarading & migrating
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
1011 2011

The Bcdedit.exe utility allows you to manage boot configuration.

/default – Sets the default entry that the boot manager willl use
/bootems – Enable or disables Emergency Management Services for a boot application.

NOT boot.ini
Windows (specifically Ntldr) uses the Boot.ini file to determine which operating system options to display when the Startup program is running.

QUESTION 7
You have a computer that runs Windows Vista. The computer contains a custom application. You need to export the user state and the settings of the custom application.
What should you do?

A. Run Loadstate.exe and specify the /config parameter.

B. Run Scanstate.exe and specify the /genconfig parameter.
C. Modify the miguser.xml file. Run Loadstate.exe and specify the /ui parameter. D. Modify the migapp.xml file. Run Scanstate.exe and specify the /i parameter.

You can specify this option multiple times to include all of your .xml files (MigApp.xml, MigUser.xml and any custom .xml files that you create). Path can be either a relative or full path. If you do not specify the Path variable, then FileName must be located in the current directory.

NOT MigUser.xml
MigUser.xml This file contains rules about user profiles and user data. The default settings for this file migrate all data in My Documents, My Video, My Music, My Pictures, desktop files, Start Menu, Quick Launch settings, favorites, Shared Documents, Shared Video, Shared Music, Shared desktop files, Shared Pictures, Shared Start menu, and Shared Favorites.

Correct Answer: C
Section: Installing upgarading & migrating
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
1036 2013

If your computer has special disk drive hardware, such as a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array, it may be necessary to use the Load Driver option. It is necessary to use this option only if the disk that you want to install Windows on is not shown as a possible install location. If your disk is shown as an available option, Windows 7 has already loaded the appropriate drivers. Once you select the location where you want to install Windows 7, the Windows 7 installation process begins.

QUESTION 9

What should you do?

A. Start the computer from the Windows 7 installation media and select the Upgrade option.
B. Start the computer from the Windows 7 installation media and select the Custom (advanced) option. C. From Windows Vista, run Setup.exe from the Windows 7 installation media and select the Upgrade
option.
D. From Windows Vista, run Setup.exe from the Windows 7 installation media and select the Custom option.

Upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7 instructions
Access the Windows 7 installation source and double-click Setup.exe. When prompted by User Account
Control, click Allow. This loads the Install Windows page. Click Install Now.

Other Notes
You can upgrade computers running Windows Vista to Windows 7. When you upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, all documents, settings, applications, and user accounts that existed on the computer running Windows Vista are available when the upgrade is finished. The advantage to an upgrade is that it allows you to keep the current application configuration.

When you perform a migration, you need to reinstall the user’s applications on the new computer. As mentioned previously, this can be problematic in organizations that are not careful about keeping track of which specific set of applications are installed on each user’s computer.

Prior to attempting to perform the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you should run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is an application that you can download from Microsoft’s Web site that will inform you if Windows 7 supports a computer running the current hardware and software configuration of Windows Vista. Prior to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you should ensure that all hardware that you want to use with Windows 7, such as printers, scanners, and cameras, are connected to the computer. The Upgrade Advisor generates a report that informs you of which applications and devices are known to have problems with Windows 7. A similar compatability report is generated during the upgrade process, but the version created by the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is more likely to be up to date.

QUESTION 10

Section: Installing upgarading & migrating
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:

Custom (advanced) option
When you are performing a clean installation, you should select Custom (Advanced). Almost all installations of Windows 7 that you will perform will be of the Custom (Advanced) type rather than upgrades. You can initiate upgrade installations only from within Windows Vista or Windows 7.

NOT Rollback, Migsetup, or Upgrade:
Specified clean installation not migration, update or rollback.

Section: Installing upgarading & migrating
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
1079 2029

You should keep the following in mind prior to and during the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7:

Perform a full backup of the computer running Windows Vista prior to performing the installation. That way, if things go wrong, you can do a full restore back to Windows Vista.
You must ensure that Windows Vista has Service Pack 1 or later installed before you can upgrade it to Windows 7.
Ensure that you have the Windows 7 product key prior to the upgrade.
You cannot upgrade between processor architectures. An x86 version of Windows Vista cannot be upgraded to an x64 version of Windows 7, and vice versa.
You can upgrade only to an equivalent or higher edition of Windows 7. You can upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, but not to Windows 7 Starter. Windows 7 Professional is equivalent to Windows Vista Business.
Ensure that there is at least 10 GB of free disk space on the Windows Vista volume prior to attempting the upgrade.

Requirements:
Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions have the following minimum hardware requirements:

1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 GB of system memory

A 40-GB hard disk drive (traditional or SSD) with at least 15 GB of available space
A graphics adapter that supports DirectX 9 graphics, has a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)
driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 hardware, and 32 bits per pixel and a minimum of 128 MB graphics memory
